Fujikura CT-32 High Precision Fiber Cleaver

The Fujikura CT-32 is a precision fiber cleaver engineered to produce consistent, low-loss cleave angles in silica optical fiber. Operating on silica fibers with 125 μm cladding diameter and coating diameters from 0.25 mm to 0.9 mm, the CT-32 delivers cleave angles of typically 0.5 degrees - critical for minimizing splice loss in fusion splicing operations. The instrument integrates with Fujikura's FH-40 series fiber holders and works with use alongside FSM-45PM and FSM-45F fusion splicers.
